Khmer Digit One

96/114

១ means “one” in Khmer writing, said muoy. It marks Khmer quantities and dates, not an emoji reaction. Khmer typefaces can change its silhouette without changing its value.

What ១ means

It means “one” in Khmer writing.

Its value is one. The early evidence is inscriptional: a Sambor temple stele records a Khmer date as 605, equivalent to 683 CE, in a religious endowment record.

The value stayed one while the system around it changed. Old Khmer used extra signs for 10, 20, and 100; modern Khmer uses native decimal digits. Thai and Lao one-digits are historically connected through older Khmer script, so they are related forms, not interchangeable Khmer characters.

Why does ១ look different in different fonts?

It can. Khmer typefaces include upright and round styles, so the silhouette may change while the value stays one.
